  Dialogue 1

  W: I can speak French and German.


  M: How well can you speak them?


  W: I can speak German quite well, but I can't speak French very


  well.


  M: Can you help me to translate these sentences into German now?


  W: No, but I'll be able to tomorrow.


  Dialogue 2


  W: Can you speak English?

  M: I lived in England when I was a child.


  W: What else can you speak?


  M: Well, I know a little Italian.


  Dialogue 3


  M: Most of our customers are foreigners. How many foreign languages


  can you speak, Elizabeth?


  W: Two. French and Spanish.


  M: And how well can you speak them?


  W: Well, French was my best subject at school. I can read and write


  it pretty well.


  M: And how about your Spanish?


  W: Well, it's not as good as my French. I can speak it reasonably


  well, but my written Spanish isn't very good.


  M: I see. Well, we have a lot of Spanish customers, but you


  wouldn't need to write any Spanish here.


  W: In that case, I'm fit for the position I think.


  Dialogue 4


  W: Can you help me now?


  M: No, but I'll be able to tomorrow.


  W: That'll be too late.

  M: Jane and Sally are friends. They are both married and they are

  started talking about their husbands. According to Jane, her


  husband is big and strong and handsome. He is also very much of a


  sportsman 4. He can swim and ski, and he can play several ball games


  such as football and cricket 5. Sally's husband, however, seems to be


  just the opposite. He is physically 6 neither big nor strong, but he


  excels 7 in intelligence. He is good at languages and can speak six


  languages, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, and


  Japanese. Besides, he is much of a funnyman. He can cook, sow, and


  iron. Indeed, as Sally puts it, he is a good husband.
